The contributors - drawn from fields as varied as Talmud, law, ecology, history and literature - offer fresh readings of the parashah that synthesise the sacred with the secular and the spiritual with the scientific. Among the contributions are Moshe Kaveh on faith and science in the third millennium, David Henshke on the nature of blessings, Rachel Lifshitz on the priesthood as both privilege and obligation, Yosef Ofer on courtship in the biblical text, Hannah Kasher on the role of controversy, Itamar Wahrhaftig on the question of how many arks existed, and Yael Shemesh on ecology in the Torah. Over forty scholars contribute in total, including Daniel Sperber, Amos Frisch, Nathan Aviezer and Admiel Kosman, ensuring a genuine breadth of disciplinary perspective.

Edited by Leib Moscovitz, an associate professor of Talmud at Bar-Ilan and author of Talmudic Reasoning, the volume is a useful resource for laypeople, rabbis and scholars seeking intellectually serious yet tradition-rooted commentary on the Torah.…
